Dr Nadine Dunn – Specialized Counsellor eMalahleni

About Me

I am Dr Nadine Dunn, a qualified and experienced counsellor based in eMalahleni. Choosing the right counsellor or life coach is an important decision, and I understand how overwhelming this can feel. To assist you, here’s a bit more about my background and approach.

Helping others has always been my passion. Over time, I recognised that while listening to someone’s story can provide temporary relief, real healing requires more. This realisation set me on a lifelong educational journey, starting in 1999, which led to completing my honours, master’s, and PhD degrees.

During my master’s, I focused on adolescents who gave up their children for adoption. I created a programme for educators to help these young people adjust when returning to school. A big part of my work was changing societal perceptions, as these adolescents often faced unfair criticism, despite the fact that placing their child for adoption was a deeply painful decision.

For my PhD, completed in 2008, I explored adolescents from divorced families. While some cope well, others struggle significantly. I developed programmes for both the adolescents and those around them, including parents, friends, and educators. I firmly believe that by helping youth, we contribute to a better future for everyone.

I am a member of the Association for Christian Religious Practitioners and the Council for Counsellors. Since 2009, I have been in private practice, offering both in-person and online counselling, depending on my clients’ preferences.

Marriage Counselling

Marriage counselling addresses relationship issues, including communication problems, trust issues, and emotional disconnect. I work with couples to rebuild their relationships, strengthen their bond, and develop a more harmonious connection.

Trauma Counselling

For those who have experienced traumatic events, I offer trauma counselling to help clients process their feelings and heal from the emotional impact. Through this therapy, individuals regain emotional strength and resilience.
